FAQ's
Yes, we kindly ask that you schedule an appointment. You’re welcome to visit our office, call, or text us to set one up. We tailor each appointment to meet your individual needs, ensuring that we can fully address all your concerns.
Yes! An eye exam is more than just determining if you need vision correction. They are comprehensive health assessments that can prevent, detect and help us manage ocular diseases.
Glasses and contact lenses are medical devices specific to the user. Optometrists are able to determine what your vision needs are and prescribe them.
Most glasses and contact lens prescriptions are valid for one year, however; there are circumstances when this has to be adjusted and is based on individuals systemic and ocular health.
This varies from person to person! If you have had a large shift in vision it is important to give your eyes and brains time to adjust. We usually recommend trying new glasses for 2 weeks. We do have a non-adapt policy and have protocols to help if you are not adapting to your new prescription. Read our policies below.
For BC residents with valid MSP:
Children 0-9 are fully covered by BC Medical for their exams.
Children 10-18 have partial coverage for their exams and are subject to a co-pay.
Seniors 65+ do have partial coverage through MSP for their examinations with a co-pay.
Routine eye examinations are not a MSP benefit for individuals aged 19 to 64 years. An eye examination is an insured benefit if medically required. In general, the criteria for medically required include:
-
ocular disease, trauma or injury
-
systemic diseases associated with significant ocular risk (e.g. diabetes)
-
medications associated with significant ocular risk
Refractive change (needing glasses or contact lenses) with no other pathology does not meet the MSP medically required criteria for payment. Follow link to read more on MSP coverage and benefits.
Please note we are unable to bill cross provincially.

We recommend that patients plan to spend about an hour at the office for their appointment. This duration may vary depending on the type of appointment, such as contact lens training or visual fields. If you’d like to browse our frame room afterward, please allow some additional time for that as well!
Typically patients with a history of diabetes, hypertension, retinal tears/detachments and those over 65 years old are recommended to have an annual dilated exam. Pending age, symptoms and undilated retinal views we may need to dilate.
